Not true. Live stages from Barum Rally 2012 were also on Czech national tv.

IRC has been on several channels in Belgium too, during the years... ;)

Care to elaborate? Our Barum rally has been part of IRC since 2007. From all those years there were reports on Czech TV using materials of Czech company mediasport. Mediasport also provides onboard videos free of charge on the internet from all Czech (and some other) events including Barum rally. The only difference was they were allowed to bring Barum ones online some ten days after the rally or so. As Ron pointed in 2012 Czech TV also broadcasted live stages of Eurosport. During all the years Mediasport-prepared rally magazines broadcasted on Czech TV used materials made by Eurosport as well (from all IRC events except Barum where - as I said - they had their own).

Any word/rumours about broadcasters being signed up to carry coverage? or any news at all from RBMH/Sportsman group or the new timing people about what they are planning to do? or even when they plan to announce what they are doing? I imagine they are probably are working quite hard towards doing a very good job, but it would be nice to hear how things are progressing :) Plus I have a terrestrial broadcaster to lobby here ;)

I prefer "big bang" theory :) . I'm sure that when a new season starts we will see RBMH doing their magic.They have a contract of minimum six years so no need to rush things. RBMH/SMG were selected begause of their innovative digital media concept so expecting fresh ideas there. Ok, realistically they might not be able to get "everything" ready for Monte but in 1-2 years after collecting some experience and developing new products we should have the WRC media coverage in a totally different level.

more work.. less talk..

@gravelman Yep, it is worth a try :) I talked to Michael O'Carroll back in 2001 and eventually we got WRC on RTÉ2 albeit late at night but it was something!

@bluuford Yes I agree, but I would like some info so to then be able to approach the local broadcasters here with any relevant info they may need :)

I think, that Red Bull main platform will be Red Bull TV. It's available for Smart TVs, Android, Iphone and of course for free on the internet.
